1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Candida albicans causes mucosal diseases and secretes farnesol, a quorum-sensing molecule, which plays a vital role in suppressing the yeast-to-mycelia switch. Farnesol can also regulate immune cell function. However, how farnesol interacts with the intestinal epithelium remains unknown. Herein, we identified that farnesol promotes intestinal barrier function, by promoting transepithelial electrical resistance, reducing paracellular flux, inducing the Zonula Occludens-1 Protein (ZO-1) and occludin expression. Moreover, the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway was activated after farnesol treatment, and inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation by stattic remarkably suppressed the expression level of ZO-1. Additionally, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (Chip) revealed that farnesol facilitated the transcriptional activation of STAT3 to significantly enhance the expression of ZO-1. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that farnesol facilitated intestinal epithelial barrier transcriptional regulation via activating JAK/STAT3 signaling. The involved molecules may be potentially targeted for treatment of Candida albicans invasion.
